Independent Living Communities in Boise, ID

"I visited Salmon Creek Gracious Retirement Living in Boise. It's an independent living community. They were good and friendly. They had meals on the table, and the food was great. The apartments were clean, and they had people cleaning up. The studio apartment that I looked at was pretty spacious, too. The people there were friendly, and they were greeting everybody. When they ate, they had places put out for people so they could sit down and eat meals with friends. It's a pretty good community."

"Revel Eagle is beautiful. It's fairly new. The common area is beautiful. They have a little cafe inside if you want to get snacks or drinks. Libraries, computers. People can use the exercise room. Pretty much all the things that they offer that you would want. They have a theater. The only negative thing I would say about it is that we only looked at two units because that's all they had available for us to look at, and they were very small. So that was kind of a turnoff for me because I want to be able to take some of my favorite pieces of furniture, stuff like that. So they just didn't have the room. But the other thing I liked about it is, and this is a thing that most of the older retirement homes do not do it this way, most of them you pay for your meals within your rent, and so you get three meals a day and you have to pay for those whether you're there eating or not. And my husband and I travel, and we have a lot of family here in Boise that we go to their homes for dinner. And I don't want to have to be paying for meals that I'm not eating. It also is located near the Boise River, which is a very pretty river, and it has a greenbelt, and walking paths along the river that you can get to very easily from the buildings. It's just a very short walk to the green belt too so you can go on walks along the river. So that's another nice feature of it. The other feature is it's very close to two very nice restaurants. You could walk to them. They also have a van, and I see the van a lot when I go to one of our main chain grocery stores. And they have a van that takes the people that live there to the grocery store. So if you don't drive and you don't have a car, the van will take you anywhere. There are also movie theaters nearby, lots of restaurants, and grocery shopping. I would highly recommend it."

"I toured Foxtail Senior Living. When I was there yesterday, the people there were having lunch. It was a restaurant-style environment. The people seemed like they were having a good time. They have an ice cream parlor where all-you-can-eat ice cream, fruit snacks, and stuff 24 hours a day for the residents. I thought that place was outstanding. I looked at two different kinds of rooms, their standard room and their deluxe standard room. I thought the standard room had a door that goes to the outside. So, they have a private patio out there. They had nice storage areas and cabinets inside the room. The bathrooms were very spacious and the walk-in showers. The deluxe did not have a door going outside, but it was much more spacious, and I thought they were both very nice rooms. It looks pretty new, and I think the upkeep and maintenance were very good."

"Sunny Ridge was great. Everybody that is my age or older needs to check into it. I checked out the menu. It looked very nutritious."

"I toured. They have a library, an exercise room with some guidance from exercise directors, they have equipment there for exercising, a beauty shop, a greenhouse on the premises, which I was very interested in, card games, and puzzle tables on every floor. Anybody can put a puzzle up if they wish to. The room has a kitchen area, whether you get a one-bedroom or a two-bedroom. I haven't decided on that yet, but there was plenty of room for one or even two people. What I was excited about was the outdoor little patio area where you could go outside and have a table and sit and eat if you want to, or just have a cup of coffee, and it's screened as well so that you can leave a door open and get fresh air in, even if you stayed in your own house or apartment."

"Garden Plaza of Valley View was very clean. It was a fine upscale location. You have a kitchenette, but the kitchenette is not a hot plate, but there's a microwave and a refrigerator. The unit we looked at was a one-bedroom with a sitting room adjacent to it, and what we're looking for my parents, is a little more room. The staff who gave the tour was very knowledgeable. They have a bakery there and we got a choice of what we want at the bakery, which was excellent. There's a very big outdoor space with a horseshoe pit or a barbecue that could be used by families that come in. It's a very well-laid out location."

"Grace Assisted Living at Englefield Green was the first one I went to. The staff toured us and everything. When he was asking questions about this 88-year-old gentleman I'm trying to get into senior living, that's when he found out that he didn't have any rooms from a male. He only has a female room. The only way that he would have a room for a male was if two women left at the same time because there's two women in per a room. Other than that, everything was beautiful there. It was really nice. It was comfortable to sit there, relax, and all that. I went to the memory care, but this gentleman can't go there. They couldn't take him there. Everybody was very nice and friendly. They invited us to sit down and have coffee while we waited for the director. It was really nice. They were on time; they weren't late. Everybody seemed pleasant. I did not their food, but it really looked good. It was very tempting. They had an elegant dining room, and it was set up really nice."

"I've been to Parkview Apartments because I have a friend there. What I liked the most was the awesome view from many of the apartments. It overlooked a beautiful park, you can also see the mountain in one direction, and the rooms were large. I understand that most of the apartments have been renovated over the years. Her second apartment wasn't as nice as the first, but the kitchen in the first one had been totally redone with granite countertop and nice cabinets. What I don't care for is the heating doesn't seem to work very well. My friend's room was always cold in the winter, and part of that could be due to larger rooms than average. Hers was a 3-bedroom, 2-bath, but I was looking for just 1, or 2 bedrooms at the most. She really liked it there."

"My experience with Northgate Senior Village has been wonderful. They've been very friendly and helpful, and they made my mom and dad feel very welcome. They have a two-bedroom apartment with a small kitchen and a really large living room and a back patio. There's a clubhouse, and there are meals that are brought in every day. When I was there moving my parents, they were painting birdhouses. They have a pool table, an exercise area, and a really good library. "

"We toured Touchmark at Meadow Lake Village, and it's beautiful beyond my expectations. It had the most amenities and very gracious people. We had a beautiful experience. The staff was precious. All of them were so helpful. We were vacillating between which dessert we liked, and the waitress made us a little go-pack of six cookies. She packed them up so cutely and brought them to us. Everyone was so friendly, and they all knew everybody's names. The room sizes are perfect. We had options and were very impressed. They had a bistro. They have a lake right there, and their nice big bus was sitting out front to take us on little trips. There were schedules and agendas. You could tell they had lots going on. They have a big TV room, and it's just beautiful."
